Psalms 111

1Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

1Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company.

2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

2Great <FI>are<Fi> the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them.

3Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

3Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever.

4To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

4A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah.

5Acceptable is the man that sheweth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

5Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to the age His covenant.

6Because he shall not be moved for ever.

6The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To give to them the inheritance of nations.

7The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

7The works of His hands <FI>are<Fi> true and just, Stedfast <FI>are<Fi> all His appointments.

8His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

8They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness.

9He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

9Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful <FI>is<Fi> His name.

10The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

10The beginning of wisdom <FI>is<Fi> fear of Jehovah, Good understanding have all doing them, His praise <FI>is<Fi> standing for ever!
